While the us and coalition forces have diminished the capabilities of terrorists, the means to reduce the appeal of al-Qaeda's ideology and recruitment have been overlooked. this essay proposes the need to understand the root causes of terrorism and develop a sound strategy to undermine terrorist willpower in order to achieve success in the gWot. Keywords: Global War On Terror; Al-Qaeda; lraq; Afghanistan
